Mallayer / 15809

This Mallayer antique rug measures 4' 4" x 6' 6" and is woven in wool with a restrained palette of cream, ivory, and warm tan. Its field is filled with a finely scaled geometric repeat, softened by age into an almost mosaic-like surface, while the border introduces a quieter, more linear frame. The overall effect is grounded and measured, with medium distress that lends texture without losing the clarity of the design. Circa 1900 - 1930, it carries the quiet warmth and lived-in character that define a well-kept antique rug.
